SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF SOWCARPET #3

My 3rd post in this series. have fun.

Having lived the majority of my "vevaram therinja vayasu" life in the bylanes of sowcarpet, i thought it is time i share its secrets with the rest of the world.

here it goes: SOWCARPET-REVEALED!

5 THINGS YOU WOULD FIND IN SOWCARPET:

1. low hip jeans clad guys and kurti-leggings clad girls munching on pani puris, sandwiches and other authentic sowcarpet street food.

2. pot bellied men sitting at pawn broker shops(in chennai tamil terms, ada namba saetu(seth) kada paa ;D ) feasting on jilebis dripping with sugar syrup and/or kachoris soaked in spicy mint chutney.

3. Garment shops selling duplicate products of reputed brands along with pretty cheap shirts in colours so bright, they could render you partially blind. :P

4. T-R-A-F-F-I-C!!!!!! - like God, traffic is omnipresent in sowcarpet. ;P
of course the concept of the existence of God is quite complicated. so here's something simpler, the probability of finding a sparsely crowded street(asking for an empty street would be over ambitious) in sowcarpet is as high as finding a polar bear in antarctica!!! :P

5. tons and tons of milk sweets in shops. and an equal amount of garbage and trash on the streets adjoining them.

5 THINGS YOU WOULDN'T FIND IN SOWCARPET:

1. basic civic sense- if u live in socarpet, u can spit pan and throw garbage anywhere you want, the "anywhere" could also include the roof and terraces of the adjoining houses.

2. basic road sense- if u live in sowcarepet, u can park your bike anywhere you want, even if its the middle of the road or the entrance to your neighbour's house!!!

3.parking space!!! this place is so damn crowded that people opt to go for an extra living portion they could rent for rather than prrovide the tenants with proper parking space. the result is that the vehicles to be parked inside spill out onto the roads and crowd the already small streets making them inaccessible even by foot. :S

4. trees, greenery- what the heck, its difficult even to find a proper open space here!!!!

5. P-E-A-C-E O-F M-I-N-D!!!!!

that's it. the secrets are out. if u still think sowcarpet is fit for inhabitation, you can always contact me. i'll get you the chief doctor of kilpauk government hospital's number. he could guarantee you a bed and living space there cos that's where you are gonna head to if u reside here for 10 yrs.

surely, this place is not for the faint hearted.

your future is in your hands, pls dont risk it by moving into sowcarpet.

stay safe, pls dont try this.

until next time,

ADIOS!!!!!!
